Jetstar Complaints

Jetstar web site is a fraud

I tried to book a ticket through jetstar web site with my credit card on 13 Dec 2014.
At the end of my booking, i was prompted by the system that it decline my credit card details and void the booking.
So i redo the booking again with another credit card (issue by another bank). and again at the end of my booking, i got rejected with the reasoning.
I give up after that.
I got a shock when i recevied my credit card statements. Jetstar charges both of my rejected bookings.
I give my honest account of what happened to my bookings and stated in my email that I...

Dear Ms. Hrdlicka, Chief Executive Officer of JetStar,

You and I both know every airline has a person who supposedly has a Master of Public Relations degree or better. Hopefully they are responsible for implementing strategic plans in keeping up with some high service standard at airport facilities and amenities, throughout the terminal.

However, here's the problem, I have previously contacted you, spelling out my concerns and problems with your airline. Now I had contacted your airline before (Customer Service), and they...

Poor customer experience. Jetstar unreliable and do not care about customers.

August 2014 we booked our fares (Aus-Singapore-Aus)
We waited and Jetstar was happy to take our money quickly and provide confirmation of booked flights.

We then started searching for accommodation to plan our 10 year anniversary trip.

Since our booking Jetstar has made a few flight changes and expected us to accept the. Which we did as the changes were in relation to same day time changes.

Only late Jan 2015 they called and stated that they have cancelled our flight leg home. The again provided options. But this time the options impacted our accommodation which...

Snow storm stranded and treated despicably.

Jan 17 we had an approx. 5 pm flight with Jetstar to Osaka from Sapporo. There was a violent snow storm occurring. The plane was delayed for two hours. We were told to go away and return at 7p.m. We did this to be told to remain in the waiting area until further notice as they were checking on conditions and whether the plane was to be further delayed. Two hours later we were further instructed to wait. There was no food available and a drink dispenser. One hour later at 10 pm they announced the plane had been canceled and that we had to collect our bags. By 11.00 we had our luggage. We...

Do they reply to emails?

I have emailed the first address in the list of addresses but they are yet to reply, I'm wondering if there are any other avenues to getting a refund or which email is best to use? Thanks in advance.
Ok, so I have had a massive relationship break down and I suffer from anxiety, so as you could guess my anxiety levels have been through the roof. My sister and I planned a girls trip to Byron for bluesfest, so I found some relatively cheap flights, put the on a 96 hour hold for $16, but when I went back to find them they said they didn't exist, so I just thought I must have taken longer...

Still waiting

How hard is it to ring a customer a call reguarding a wheelchair which a customer needs at a airport. We have been waiting for Jetstar to ring since December 2014 for a flight in March 2015. I made the booking for my sister and forgot to put down for a wheelchair assistance. It might be only the little things that make a difference, Jetstar for a company that so many people are discouraged by.

First and Last time we fly Jetstar.

Dear Jayne Hrdlicka, Jetstar Group CEO,
My wife and I recently traveled with your airline (Booking Reference !!!!!!, January 16th.) to New Zealand and back. First time ever with Jetstar. Since that time I have personally spoken to a counter representative upon check-in, and following that a supervisor, at the Coolangatta Airport. The counter rep was very very rude as we tried to explain, and kept repeating ourselves, those are the rules, over and over again. Her supervisor, I have since found out lied to me and said, when I asked for his Manager, that there was no one any higher...

Jetstar discriminates against Sydney travellers

I have been through this a number of times with Jetstar but simply get back fob off emails. I once even got a free flight....which I refused to accept out of principle.

Jetstar often sells flights out of Melbourne considerably cheaper than the same flight out of Sydney. Sometimes it omits offers for Sydney customers altogether.

Today Jetstar offered 2 for 1 flights from Melbourne to Osaka, Japan for $479 (direct flight) whilst from Sydney to Osaka, Japan the cost was $543 (with a stop in Cairns). This is outrageous and clearly Sydney customers represent no value for this...

Discriminated at the airport by check in staff

I was bound for Japan-Fukuoka flight back to Singapore earlier today. Was really excited and after boycotting Jetstar for two years, I decided to give them another chance and I really got a great deal on the tickets BUT Boy am I in for a rude shock.

1) Jetstar Staff in Japan Discriminate Malaysians

During checking in, after learning that I am a Malaysian, the staff kept flipping through my passport, staff asked me if I reside in Singapore and I replied yes. She asked where is my VISA to stay in Singapore and asked me for a valid VISA to prove that I stay in Singapore....

P.O.L.I tooki my money, no record of a booking

Paid for flight by P.O.L.I, did not receive an email confirmation of flight. 1 hr 6 min on phone. Asked repetitive stupid questions. Told to seek refund. No, you find my money. Repetitively asked for booking number (did not receive) bla bla bla. I sent Jetstar a copy of the payment from my account, this is the reply
Case ID CAS-1214874-V2Q5X1 
Dear Mr Payne,
Thank you for contacting Jetstar. I appreciate your effort in sending the documentation we requested.
However, I’m afraid that we haven’t yet received it as we can’t find any attachments in the email you sent us...

JQ522

I took this flight from melb to sydney on 25 January at 7:40 pm. One of the staff came yo me and asked to show my borading pass. There were another person who was given same seat number. When i checked my boarding pass, there waswrong name on it. The crew started verifying with ground staff which in turn confirmed that i never bought any ticket frim them at first place. Luckily i had my receipt of payment which i showed to them. They finally came back and changedmy seat to 16 c, without checking that there was already a person sitting. Then she moved further to check if there is any empty...

Cancelled flight in April 2015

I booked a flight back in Decmeber on the morning flight, departing 29thApril. This is the best flight time as you arrive in Bali around lunchtime. In January, Jetstar cancelled this flight and sent me an email, my option was to go on a later flight. I found out that there is an early flight two days earlier, so I called Jetstar and got put through to an call centre outside Australia. I explained that I was originally on an early flight and the flight was cancelled by Jetstar, according to the call centre staff it was cancelled due to safety issues. I would like to know how they can...

JETSTAR FLIGHT CANCELLED

Fri, 16/1/15

We arrived at the airport in Bali at 3:30pm to catch the 6:10pm flight to Darwin. At 5:45pm there were mumblings from the passengers that the flight had been cancelled. At 6.15pm an announcement was made that the flight had been cancelled and that all passengers were to make their way back to the check-in counter. This meant:
We had to line up (again) to go back through customs area; Find luggage that had been 'dumped' in the check-in area; we were told to line up at the check-in area but no one from Jetstar told us why we were lining up. I approached...

FLIGHT DELAYED

Travel date: 10/1/15 - Brisbane to Bali
At the airport 3 hours prior to flight and on check-in informed that flight was departing at 10am not 9.10am. OK, no problem, or I thought.. we did not board the plane until 10am and then we sat, and sat, and sat on the tarmace for over 3 hours. In that time there were approx. 3 announcements: First announcment at 11am to say that 'the paperwork was not completed and we would be taking off shortly. Second announcement at 11.45 to say that some oxygen masks were not working and this needed to be attended to. Third announcement at 12.45 to...

Smoke and mirrors from Jetstar

Jstar crew,

Wish I had a better message for you on this fine day in Bali but unfortunately not.

As a QF Plat member I fly Qantas for work internationally on a regular basis. Booking a trip with my girlfriend with Jetstar to Bali I was relaxed and confident knowing that you guys have your act together... Or so I thought.

JQ44 Bali to Melbourne 2.45pm 18th Jan - cancelled at 230pm. Reasoning: not enough staff to crew the plane. Rescheduled for 6am 19th Jan.

1st problem - canceling a flight 15mins before departure is appalling and disrespectful to paying and...

Never fly jetstar

Being a single mum of two teenage girls 18 and 16 it took me a long time to save
For our holiday. Travelled from Sydney to Brisbane and then Brisbane to Bali. . For some reason they could only
Check in my daughters at Sydney all the way to Bali. But myself and my daughters bf were
Told we had to check in at Brisbane . Well that was weird to start with. So of course our plane
From Sydney was delayed. By the time we got to Brisbane international airport (1minute late for check in) I was refused to board the plane. Seen my girls were booked through they could board. I...

Delayed Bags - Now I want them to Pay up the $40 delayed bag fee

I flew United from the States. I contacted Jetstar before I left, and they said they are partners with United and I could check my bags all the way through from SFO- San Francisco.

United released my bags to JetStar in Singapore but they were never picked up. They sat in limbo for 4 days, until a colleague of mine - who knows the airline industry told them to look in a particular bag holding area.

Anyway in Denpasar the Jet Star lost bag handling company had me sign a document that told me I would be compensated $40 AUD for my delayed bag, so I could go buy underwear,...

no Luggage, no feedback

After 2.5h delay, near missed flight, lost luggage in Kuala Lumpur a letter to Jetstar - waiting for response and waiting and waiting….

Dear Jetstar team,
My partner and I travelled from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur on December 16th 2014. The plane 3K669 had more than 150 mins delay on arrival and we nearly-missed our connecting flight to Muscat and connection to Zurich with Omanair departing from Kuala Lumpur at 21:45 the same date. The original itinerary would have allowed 3 hours after the expected arrival of Jetstar plane to pick up luggage and check it in on time at the same...

lost baggage

On my way back Singapore to Bangkok on 29 November. My flight is 10.30 am. I arrived airport at 8.30 am. flight delay to 1.30 pm. no one told me about the delay when check-in or email notice. I almost the last person boarding, a guy stop me a few steps before entrance to the air plane. He told me that there are no space for my hand carry baggage it better load in the plane. I just gave him without asking tag. Until now I didn't get back my baggage and no contact back.

If I had read don't fly jetstar.com before I will not fly this airline. What a shame.

Disappointing

Extremely Disappointed in Jetstar. We travelled to the Gold Coast from Melbourne on flight JQ440, and couldn't have been more appalled. Before we even got on the flight, we had to stand in a cue for 55 minutes to check our bags in even after we had done a web check in... What a waste of time! Jetstar should really take a leaf out of virgins book when it comes to streamlining their checkin process(Virgin self checkin less than 30m away had almost no cue whatsoever) additionally, as soon as we got on the plane, we couldn't have been less impressed. The plane was completely dirty and after...

Ripped off by the website

The payment screen was followed by the homepage after I clicked to submit the payment. So I try to go back and book the flight again and of course the flights I want are no longer on sale. I called the call centre and after an insulting $50 voucher offer (the difference between sale and non-sale flights was of course much more than this), they said all they can do is lodge a feedback form. Pathetic. And it's not the first time I've been ripped off by their website. If you have an option to pay with POLi and it doesn't work, then why provide it?

JETSTAR just... charged me TWICE !

I bought tickets from Melbourne to Auckland for me and my family. -total :about 400 $)

First try : The Jetstar payment window first said the credit card I used was not valid and urgend me to use another credit card.
Second try : I use another credit card. It works

But eventually, I discover that the account has been charged TWICE for the very same bookigng reference. on for each credit card.
Despite the fact that I can prove my bank account has been charged twice, Jetstar refuses to refund one of the charges

The most expensive air travel I experienced...

Don't fly Jetstar

Mr Joyce has a lot to answer for and if he was running any other company he would be sacked.
How can they say they have customer service? I have flown Jetstar both domestic and International as Qantas flights are removed from the routes I travel. Flights are cancelled or always delayed.
You are treated very poorly when they cancel a flight you can expect a night at a back packers if your lucky!
When you complain it takes 15 days to respond! Then if you ask a question expect another 15 days. And if your lucky and do get a refund your going to have to follow that up and it...

Haven't even flown, and customer service is already appalling

Jetstar's customer service is beyond a joke. I just had a friend spend over an hour in regards to her flight to visit her terminally ill father. Absolutely disgusted with Jetstar's management. She received a text confirmation only to find out 2 days prior that they never received payment. In a "recorded message" to customer service their representative admitted that this was a Jetstar system error and she was never given the opportunity to rectify the mistake Jetstar had made. Let me reiterate here, this was an ADMITTED Jetstar mistake, where Jetstar's customer representative also admitted...

JETSCAM

So basically two friends and I decided to go on a trip to Queensland. Circumstances changed, and two weren't able to go, so I found another person willing to go with me on the trip, thinking it would be a simple $50 name change fee. But noooooo.

I called up Jetstar and the rep informed me matter-of-factly that the terms and conditions allow them to charge $50 per flight, meaning $50 x 2 for the return tickets from Sydney to Gold Coast. Also, she added that since the tickets legally belonged to my friend, they would have to remove the existing tickets from her name, and put on new...
